The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a significant increase in the consumption of the internet for work, leisure time activities, and has also generated substantial amounts of anxiety, and uncertainty, which has lead individuals to spend a lot of time surfing the internet for the latest news on developments in the COVID-19 crisis. This ends up as scrolling or surfing through a lot of pessimistic news items. This search for information during COVID-19 is apparently influenced by a number of cognitive biases as well as mediated by poor affect regulation skills. Thus, there is a need to address these cognitive biases and promote affect regulation strategies across health settings.
2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行导致人们对互联网的使用大幅增加,无论是工作、休闲时间活动都在增加,同时也产生了大量的焦虑和不确定性,这导致人们花费大量时间上网查看 COVID-19 危机的最新发展。这最终导致大量浏览悲观的新闻。在 COVID-19 期间进行这种信息搜索显然受到许多认知偏差的影响,并受到不良情绪调节技能的影响。因此,有必要在卫生环境中解决这些认知偏差并促进情绪调节策略。
